Delivery? Who said anything about delivery? Do food stamp recipients get their food delivered now?
??
Front door delivery is what Blue Apron does. Front door delivery is their selling gimmick.
The government is talking about delivering these food boxes to the homes because poor folk don’t have transportation to get to the warehouses and it’d be too heavy to carry home.
“The Trump administration is waging its latest, and most unnerving, attack on America’s working poor. And they want it delivered to your door each month...Delivery was also another issue, because the federal government’s projected cost of the plan, doesn’t ensure that food will be delivered to every recipients home. The USDA claimed it could deliver the boxed food at “approximately half the retail cost” for SNAP’s 16 million recipients.”
According to the proposal states would be allowed to determine the method of delivery “through existing infrastructure, partnerships, and/or directly to residences through commercial and/or retail delivery services.”
